Delhi Gate, Monument gate in Daryaganj, India

Delhi Gate is a monumental gate made of red sandstone featuring intricate carvings and served as one of the main entrances to the former walled city of Shahjahanabad. The structure connects the older part of Delhi through the Daryaganj area to the newer sections of the city.

Shah Jahan built Delhi Gate in 1638 as the southern entrance to Shahjahanabad, the seventh city of Delhi. The emperor used this gate on his way to pray at the Jama Masjid. Its design resembles that of the northern Kashmiri Gate, and it was once known as Hathi Pol, or Elephant Gate, after two large stone elephant sculptures erected near the entrance.

The gate was also known as Hathipol, "elephant gate", after the two large stone elephant figures erected near its entrance. The road from here ran through Daryaganj to the northern Kashmiri Gate, and the emperor passed through on his way to pray at the Jama Masjid.

Access is available through the Daryaganj area, with paths connecting to areas farther north. The location sits within Old Delhi and is easy to reach on foot when exploring the surrounding streets.

The gate was also known as Hathipol, or elephant gate, after the two large stone elephant carvings erected near its entrance. The road through it ran across Daryaganj to the Kashmiri Gate in the north.
